'Climate Anxiety': There's a Guide for That (Seriously)

A conciliatory CNN report this week touches on the issue of so-called “climate anxiety,” which apparently is becoming widespread. The first paragraph of the report introduces a Willamette University student who “woke at 2 a.m. and then cried for two solid hours about the warming ocean.” That student’s climate professor, Wendy Petersen Boring, asserts, “Back in 2007, [climate change] was the mouse in the room; then, it became the elephant in the room. By 2016, those concerns and fears began to flood over.”
The report goes on to cite a 69-page American Psychological Association/ecoAmerica climate guide published in March 2017 that tenders ways to ameliorate the effects of environmental anxiety. According to the guide, “This … report is intended to further inform and empower health and medical professionals, community and elected leaders, and the public.”

Climate professor might be trolling her own people. She is going to give them some extra anxiety using that kind of language.

Professor Boring? The only thing worse would be a physician named Dr. Payne.

Climate Alarmists are nuts. Certifiably crazy.

My mom (RIP) had a surgeon at Ochsner years ago named Dr. Butcher.
